Julian Assange will push ahead with attempts to pardon his conviction for espionage but needs time and space to recover following his 14-year legal saga, his wife has said.
Stella Assange addressed a press conference around an hour after the WikiLeaks founder touched down in Canberra as a free man following a plea agreement.
Mr Assange had been wanted by US authorities following the disclosure of thousands of classified military documents in 2010 and spent more than five years in a British high-security prison after seven years holed up at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

WikiLeaks press conference: Everything you need to know
A press conference hosted by WikiLeaks in Canberra has now ended following Julian Assange's return to Australia earlier today as his 14-year legal saga was brought to a close.
Here's what we learned:
- Stella Assange said her husband will need time and space to recuperate and to rediscover freedom following his ordeal as she appealed for privacy for their family.
- Mr Assange's lawyer Julian Robinson said the WikiLeaks founder told Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese he 'saved his life' when he landed in Australia.
- Ms Robinson and Ms Assange described Mr Assange's case as an attack on journalism which Ms Robinson added set a dangerous precedent for journalists across the world.
- Ms Assange said she hoped her husband would be pardoned and called on the press to unite against lawmakers as Ms Robinson said the Espionage Act needed reform.
- Asked if WikiLeaks will continue to publish leaked documents, Ms Assange said her husband will 'always defend human rights' and remains 'deeply principled'
11:50
Stella Assange - I think Julian will be pardoned
Ms Assange has told the press conference she is hopeful her husband will be pardoned for his espionage conviction if the press unites against a precedent that led to her husband's prosecution.
She made the remarks after Jennifer Robinson said in time they would seek a pardon from the US President and that it was important to reform the Espionage Act.
Ms Assange said
I think that he will be pardoned if the press unite to push back against this precedent. Because it affects all of you. It affects your future ability to warn the public and to publish without fear.
The press conference has now ended.
11:43
Stella Assange - I want Julian to rediscover freedom
Ms Assange has said she wants to allow her husband space to rediscover freedom following his incarceration.
Asking for privacy as a family, she told the press conference:
Julian needs time to recover. To get used to freedoms. Someone told me yesterday who had been through something similar, that freedom comes slowly. And I want Julian to have that space to rediscover freedom, slowly. And quickly.
She also told reporters her reaction to seeing her husband at the airfield in Canberra where they shared an emotional embrace.
We embraced and I mean, I think you’ve seen the pictures. I don’t want to express in words what is obvious from the image.
11:40
Stella Assange - Case is an attack on journalism
Ms Assange has reiterated the case against her husband is an 'attack on journalism' as she gave details of how he came to be released.
She told the press conference:
I think it’s important to recognise that Julian’s release and the breakthrough in the negotiations came at a time when there had been a breakthrough in the legal case in the UK, in the extradition, where the High Court had allowed permission to appeal.
There was a court date set for the 9th and 10th of July - an upcoming court date in which Julian would be able to raise the first amendment argument at the High Court. And it is in this context that things finally started to move.
I think that it revealed ... how uncomfortable United States government is, in fact, of having these arguments aired, because this case - the fact is that this case is an attack on journalism.
11:35
Stella Assange - Julian needs time and space to recuperate
Julian Assange will not speak at the press conference, his wife Stella has confirmed, as he needs 'time and space' to recuperate following his legal ordeal
Appearing emotional at the press conference, Ms Assange said her husband wanted to thank people for their support as she praised Anthony Albanese, the opposition and the Australian people.
She adds Mr Assange should never have spent a single day in prison.
Julian wanted me to sincerely thank everyone. He wanted to be here. But you have to understand what he’s been through. He needs time. He needs to recuperate.
And this is a process. I ask you - please - to give us space, to give us privacy. To find our place.
To let our family be a family before he can speak again at a time of his choosing.
11:29
Jennifer Robinson - Assange told PM he saved his life
Ms Robinson has revealed that Julian Assange told Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese he had 'saved his life' when he landed back in Australia.
She told the press conference:
We are absolutely thrilled that Julian is now home in Australia.
I can say when we landed here in Australia, I became very emotional at the moment that we landed and the Prime Minister was the first person to get on the phone to speak to Julian.
Julian thanked him and the team and told the Prime Minister that he had saved his life. And I don’t think that that is an exaggeration.
11:27
Jennifer Robinson - This is the criminalisation of journalism
Mr Assange's lawyer Jennifer Robinson is up first and described the journey from the UK to Australia which involved 12 hours in Stansted airport.
She described his conviction as the 'criminalisation of journalism' which sets a worrying precedent for journalists across the world.

I have clearly and consistently – at every opportunity and at every level – advocated for Mr Assange’s case to be concluded.

There was no purpose to be served by this ongoing incarceration. And can I say that when I spoke with Mr Assange tonight, he described it as a surreal and happy moment. He’s landing here in our national capital, Canberra.
He expressed his thanks to what he described as the diplomatic A-Team.

Ex-US intelligence official - People may have died because of Assange
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is no hero and people may have died because of his actions, the former United States director of national intelligence has suggested.
James Clapper said Assange’s guilty plea to a felony charge is 'important to a lot of people'.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme:
There is somewhat of a religious argument here between those who are proponents of transparency and those who are concerned about security. This is an endless argument. I understand what they are saying but I don’t think he is a hero.”
What he did was wrong and illegal and one of our federal grand juries saw fit to indict him on 18 charges, espionage-related charges. The concern that we have is the potential identity and compromise of assets, (the) Iraqis and Afghans who were helping us, as well as jeopardising sources and methods.
Asked if he thought there are people who are not alive today due to his behaviour, Mr Clapper said:
I imagine there are some people because they were identified as having helped us and they were doing that on a clandestine basis – when they were outed I can imagine that some of them may have lost their lives given the situation particularly in Afghanistan.
09:02
'Assange is no hero': Mixed reaction in Australia
The political reaction in Australia to Julian Assange's case and return has been a mixed picture with some MPs celebrating his release, while others say he should not be worshipped.
Here's a flavour of the difference of opinion
James Paterson, a senator in Victoria who is the opposition spokesman for home affairs, told AAP
Julian Assange is no hero, but it is a welcome thing that this has finally come to an end.
The reason why it’s gone on for a long time is that he was evading lawful extradition requests. It is a credit to the United States that they are showing such leniency towards someone accused of such a serious crime.
This follows similar comments from his opposition colleague Jane Hume, who said Assange was “no hero” of hers but that she welcomed his return: We’re very pleased to see him returned to Australia, but I don’t think that hero-worship is an appropriate response.
08:55
08:46
Assange's brother to launch campaign for pardon
Julian Assange's brother has said he will campaign for the WikiLeaks founder to be pardoned after he was convicted of espionage in a US court.
The conviction means Mr Assange is banned from entering the US and would require special permission for visits
Gabriel Shipton told the BBC:
We're going to campaign now for a pardon for Julian
We're going to be asking President Biden for a pardon, so that this conviction can be taken off the books.
You know our allies in the Congress, Representative Jim McGovern has already tweeted out that this is a very very concerning precedent for people in the United States.
08:29
Assange's lawyer - We did it
08:24
Australian Prime Minister - I'm pleased he is on his way home
Anthony Albanese, Australia's Prime Minister, has addressed his country's parliament following the outcome of the Julian Assange case.
He said:
Regardless of your views about his activities – and they will be varied – Mr Assange’s case has dragged on for too long. I have said repeatedly that there was nothing to be gained by his continued incarceration. I am pleased that he is on his way home to Australia to reunite with his family here.
Over the two years since we took office my government has engaged and advocated, including at leader level, to resolve this. We have used all appropriate channels [and] this outcome has been the product of careful, patient and determined work.
The Australian government continues to provide consular assistance to Mr Assange as he returns home.
08:18

When will Assange return to Australia?
After he was released from court, Mr Assange left Saipan on a private jet to the Australian capital Canberra, where he is expected to land around 7:30pm (10.30am UK time), according to flight logs.
The island is about six hours away from Australia by plane and was chosen as a location for Mr Assange's hearing owing to its proximity to his homeland.
Speaking to Reuters news agency in Canberra, his father John Shipton said:
That Julian can come home to Australia and see his family regularly and do the ordinary things of life is a treasure. The beauty of the ordinary is the essence of life.

Julian Assange in court: What happened?
During a three-hour hearing in Saipan, Mr Assange pleaded guilty to one criminal count of conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defence documents but said he had believed the US Constitution's First Amendment, which protects free speech, shielded his activities.
He told the court:
Working as a journalist I encouraged my source to provide information that was said to be classified in order to publish that information.
I believed the First Amendment protected that activity but I accept that it was... a violation of the espionage statute.
Chief US District Judge Ramona Manglona accepted his guilty plea, noting that the U.S. government indicated there was no personal victim from Assange's actions
The judge said:
You will be able to walk out of this courtroom a free man. I hope there will be some peace restored
Given the factual basis that accounts the whole saga of events that constitutes the basis for this very serious espionage charge against you…I am in fact sentencing you to a period of time served.
